The Team USA Women’s Gymnastics pose together after a great day at podium training ahead of the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics at Olympic Arena on Thursday (August 4) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Lead by team captain Aly Raisman, Laurie Hernandez, Simone Biles, Madison Kocian, and Gabby Douglas all got to try out each event they’ll be competing in starting on Sunday, August 7th.
“It’s good to have someone like that to keep us accountable and really just motivate us,” Gabby said of Aly as team captain for her second Olympic games. “You need someone like that, or else the team starts kind of falling apart and you’re not together as one. So you kind of need that one person to rally everyone.”
